This was my first time celebrating my birthday abroad, and I just wasn't sure what to expect. Especially since all my close friends are back home in Canada, having said, I was open to making new friends and decided to celebrate my birthday in beautiful Florence, Italy.

This look is effortless and chic, you can really take it from the office to a cocktail event. Just layer with a nice blouse or cropped knit sweater, or even add a cardigan to change the look and feel of the outfit. Then by adding a statement piece, such as my clutch, it adds some personality and flavor to the look. This was a great choice because it literally works with almost all my outfits in my wardrobe.

My entire outfit cost no more than 100 euros, and it's classic appeal and versatility will never go out of style. When in doubt, that little black dress will do wonders.
